horoscopes/astrology
I went to buy some coffee this afternoon and while I'm waiting for my beans to get ground up I read the daily horoscope taped to the cash register... mine was along the lines of 'technology is not you friend today - to err is human but to really ***** up you need a computer'. I was carrying a new laptop because my phucking POS old one had died a few hours before!
Freaky!
I'm in two minds about astrology... I think it's usually highly generalized common sense that anyone can relate to yet and therefore just bollox but I once had a 'real' reading and it honestly freaked me out because of its detailed precision.... I'm more inclinded to give credit to the astrologer for being just a very intuitive woman and not her ability to interpret my star dust stuff but then I'm proababy an 'easy read' cos I'm a walking stereotype of my sign.
Thoughts?

Re: horoscopes/astrology
Ok long story but I'll shorten it.
Went to tarot card reader about 12 years ago cos everyone i worked with (at bank) was going.
Had split from long term gf in the January and it is now April, having not heard from here for over three months.
She told me that I had just come out of relationship and I thought yeah yeah. She then she this girl was strange (she was), and that she would try and get in touch with me soon and want to get back together. She warned me not to as it would be a mistake. She also said she can see me having a lot to do with the Police but not to worry as I wasn't in trouble.
Anyway a few weeks later the ex phoned me and wanted to meet, I agreed and she said she wanted to get back together. I didn't but may have done if it wasn't for what I had been told.
A few years later in Mexico we got friendly with a couple who lived near to us (us being new girlfriend). He was a police officer, eventually as a result of knowing him I applied and got in......therefore had a lot to do with the police but I wasn't in trouble...............interesting I thought.
Who knows though, I am quite opened minded about stuff really.

It makes you wonder doesn't it?
Dreams are cool too. I dream a lot about bears (the mammal, not hairy gay men) and I've made sense of a lot of that by talking with some of the more Native (First Nations) people I know.
So what's your sign baby?

Never read anything in to dreams to be honest but have to say the Tarot card reader was good, and I don't think we are alone in the universe!!!

Re: horoscopes/astrology
fickle man
I'm a Sagittarian: You are a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to take the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. You are an independent soul, freedom-loving, and often very restless. You need a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom is odious to you.

Sorry Ro, took your thread OT.
I'm typically Libran and do occasionally look at horoscopes, if it fits I believe and if it doesn't, I don't take any notice.

I heard scorpios are supposed to be jealous and have big arses.
